The European Commission pledged EUR115million for an ambitious project to improve infrastructure and remove regulatory barriers to trade in Eastern and Southern Africa. The North-South Corridor project is being driven by three of Africa’s main Regional Economic Communities – the Common Market for Eastern and Southern African (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC). EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton represented the European Commission at a conference on the North-South Corridor in the Zambian capital of Lusaka. Other international partners supporting the project include the European Investment Bank, the World Bank, the African Development Bank and the UK government. |
